Which Honda Civic trim should I buy?

• Sport Touring Hybrid: Adds the most upscale tech and convenience content, including larger displays, Google built-in, a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless smartphone charging, and the premium audio setup; choose this if you want the most fully equipped Civic sedan.

What Honda Civic do most buyers choose?

The Honda Civic years with the most listings are 2023, 2021, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of newer design, broad availability, and pricing that still sits below the newest model years. They also give you more choice across trims and body styles, which makes it easier to find the right Civic for your budget and needs.

What is the Honda Civic's resale value?

Most Civic model years in the table are down year over year, and several recent ones show double-digit declines. That creates a favourable setup for used buyers, especially if you want a newer Civic without paying new-car pricing. The smallest changes are concentrated among the older and newest examples, while the middle of the range shows the steepest drops.

The 2015, 2026, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
